Marriage is the first rule of law. Adam first revealed the Law of Marriage during the genesis of human nature. Language and marriage are the two attributes of human nature spoken of in the story of Adam and Eve.
Now, I’m not an expert on marriage or religion or anything like that. I am just an individual human being searching for the truth about human nature. I study natural history and religion in the process of searching for the truth.
I believe that Adam naming all the animals in the Garden of Eden is a reference to the evolution of human language. The union of Adam and Eve into one family is the revelation of the Law of Marriage, the first rule of law.
Marriage and language are the two most primal attributes of human nature, the difference between a wild animal and a civilized human being. The divine education revealed by Adam caused the mystical transformation of a troop of homosapiens into the first tribe of human beings.
It was thousands of years later that Moses’ revelation established the spiritual nation. And now, Bahá’u’lláh’s revelation has united all people of all nations, races and religions in one universal and divine civilization.
I was married for about 5 years. I like my wife and I’m sorry I couldn’t give her what she wanted. I still love her like a sister and consider her my friend. I am a better person because of our relationship.
I want my wife to be my best friend. I want her to be my equal. I want to practice consultation in our relationship. I want my marriage to last forever. I’m 49, so I think it’s a little late to have children. I like children, I would not mind having stepchildren, but that is not essential. There are a lot of people in the world today.
I am well aware of the benefits of marriage. The strength of wellness. My life would be so much better if I had a partner for all sorts of things, including this business I’m working on. Sex is also a lot of fun. Everything is alright. I want someone to play with, as well as work.
I want to travel together, all over the earth, healing and teaching people to improve and help others. I want to go on a pilgrimage to the Bahá’í Holy Places, especially the World Center on Mount Carmel and the Mansion at Bahji.
The law of marriage has evolved through various manifestations over the years, but it has always been the union of a man and a woman. Men have had the right to marry multiple women for most of human history. Today, the marriage of a man with a woman is a manifestation of the justice and equality inherent in human nature.
“God is the Source of all religions, except some that are the result of human perversity.” (Bahá’u’lláh) Religion is the source, the spiritual foundation, both of the family and of the state. Any individual, family, tribe or nation that ignores this reality does so at their own peril.
Healing and improving our families is a vitally important aspect of healing and improving human nature. Healthy families unite into healthy tribes and nations. Healthy families, tribes and nations are evolving into a healthy, universal and divine civilization.
Establishing a universal language for our global civilization is another aspect of healing human nature. Language is one of the most primal attributes, probably the most primal of human nature. Every human being will be able to communicate effectively with every other human being in the next generation of human civilization.
Human civilization is what we human beings make of it. We can make it healthy, safe and fair, or not. I, for my part, choose to serve Bahá’u’lláh to the best of my ability.
Have fun and be careful.
